Love dramas

- By Zara Zubeidi

They raised more than a few eyebrows when rumours first surfaced that they were romantical­ly involved during The X Factor Celebrity last year.

However a year on, Nicole Scherzinge­r and Thom Evans proved their critics wrong as they were spotted househunti­ng in LA last week – just weeks after rumours surfaced that Nicole could be pregnant.

The couple were given a tour of a plot of land and looked more loved-up than ever, even stopping to cuddle up for a quick selfie.

In recent weeks Pussycat Doll star Nicole, 42, has sparked pregnancy rumours after fans pointed out what appeared to be a “bump” in one of her pictures. She deleted it soon after, before deciding to re-upload it.

Her baby riddle comes after it was reported the couple were trying for a baby. According to sources, retired rugby ace Thom, 35, was even taking supplement­s to “boost fertility”.

A friend revealed, “Nicole and Thom are ridiculous­ly loved-up together, and have had serious conversati­ons about everything from marriage to babies. No one would be surprised if they had some baby news coming out soon.”

Nicole – who has previously dated F1 driver Lewis Hamilton and tennis star Grigor Dimitrov – has made no secret of her desire to settle down and become a mum. In 2017, she said her own mother was “praying every day” for her to have a child, adding, “One day I do want to have a family”.

This summer, Nicole was introduced to her boyfriend’s parents, Brian and Sally, in Portugal, while he regularly spends time with Nicole’s family, including her nieces.

Thom recently shared a sweet tribute to the singer on Instagram, writing, “Very grateful to have you in my life @nicolesche­rzinger”, alongside a picture of them looking into each other’s eyes.
